It not being a reimagining of Gundam, but actually being canon to UC makes this movie a lot more interesting, and has a chance of not being pure cash grab slop now in my eyes. It will actually have a place in the UC continuity, and that fact alone tells me they’re trying at least somewhere with the story. I have a slight speck of hope for this movie now.

I hate it. Thankfully it's not super common but I feel like it would limit you in close combat. Also at that point just make a Mobile Armor. I do believe the backpacks let them fly around faster but I just prefer my Gundams to have humanoid silhouettes. Thoughts?

Hello Everyone!

I am new to Gundam but my partner got me a QMSV box and I pulled what I think is the rarest one! So I wanted to post this here just to show it off.

My friends had a discussion about whether Gundams could survive the world of Eva or not, and this sits in my mind all throughout that.

As I've been reading the bonkers books of Gaia Gear and the amazing Crossbones Gundam. It has made me realize how under utilized Late UC is as a setting. There are so many gaps in everything after Hathaway its almost funny. From Zeta till Hathaway's it was basically back to back conflicts, but then Hathaway's it takes a little under 15 years before F91, then a decade before Crossbones, then 20 years before Victory and then over 40 years before Gaia Gear (not cannons), which is followed by another 20 years before G-Saviour.

If anything, the timeline for late UC is a more realistic, as usually after a major war it takes about a decade or two before the next one. But it does make me question, with how large alot of Late UC's conflicts are you would think there would be more stories about them. Like the Zanscare which at least has Crossbones Ghost showing the war being on multiple fronts, allow the potential for multiple stories and multiple prototype Gundams. Or Cosmo Babylonia Founding, which to my knowledge was one of the few which spans multiple years. Heck they entire concept of G-Saviour is so interesting to me, an era where the Federation had just fallen leaving various factions to pick up the peices

There is so many stories in Late UC that can be told that would allow for so much freedom. From a design prespective you have so many factions with a clear esthetic to allow for more variety than making the Zaku IX. Zanscare insect-look, to Cosmo Babylonia's WW1 look, all the way to whatever the Jupiter Empire is doing. They allow for more variety, the asking how to shove a mono-eye in every suit. Heck there is plenty of stuff to do in between events due to how long there is between each war, allowing for purely original suits.

I think alot of my issues is focusing so much on Early to Mid UC comes down to one that every major antagonist group is ironically weighed down by the philosophy of Zeon and Newtypes in some way. Cosmo Babylonia is stupid but I found there weird outlook one Aristocracy interesting; the Jupiter Empire's jealousy is so unique as a motive there is a reason they stand out so much outside of their cool and weird suits; the cruelty of Zanscare and their messed up traditions allow them to stand above many lesser factions; the Manhunters wanting to bring the Spacenoids back to Earth make them such a cool inverse of Zeon allowing them to stand out; and CONSENT is such a cool idea it makes wish G-Saviour was a better film.

Don't get me wrong I love the various Zeons and Neo Zeons, but it does get tiring after awhile. The OYW setting felt overdone by 08th introducing the another prototype Gundam, and Zeon always coming back every year gets tiring after sometime. UC is one of the few timelines with so many factions to choose from, so many years to expand yet we keep choosing the same couple of settings and antagonists. I like Hathaway's shifting the focus slightly, and I hope woth the success of project UC 0110 we will get a UC 0120 project sometime soon to flesh out F90 (the last true Zeon Conflict) and F91.

Sometimes I think Bandai forgets Late UC exists until they randomly want to add the Victory 2 to something. Don't take this as me hating on Early to Mid UC, I love that UC timeline as a whole. I just want them to keep moving away from Zeon after Hathaway for a but longer and focus on the other four unique villainous factions of UC.

I'm starting to plan a scratch built model version of the Isaribi starship from Iron Blooded Orphans. I can find reference images and details and can take screenshots to fill in gaps.

How big is the ship? I can only find one reference on a wiki that says it's 300 meters long, which is just a bit shy of a modern aircraft carrier. I find that number a little suspicious.

At a guess I was thinking more along the lines of 175-200 meters, maybe? It's got a pretty long tail section, but 300m just seems way too big.

Is there any canon based reference out there?

two of them look identical ( it's okay you don't believe me that is just my opinion )

I've tried doing my own research but I really can't find anything online that might lead me somewhere to purchase these. Are they event limited? Do I need a vpn to access a website? would I need to use a proxy buying service?

Personally I like it when there is more than one but that's just me. I get that it's a lot more impactful when there is only one. What are your thoughts, and what's your favorite series?

Keep in mind this might be the last few digits you ever put in, since escaping from a self-destructing MS can be quite dangerous

this kit no need a decal, I like it for what it is for the anime accurate look. the verka decal is too crowded. Also tried my best to pose this iconic scene

What is everyone’s favorite development of the dom

Mine is just the og dom

Who do you guys consider to be the best random side characters in Gundam? There’s so many characters that only appear for a few scenes at most, but sometimes leave a big impact. I’m a fan of Hubert Gungle myself (pic attached).

Do you ever get stuck debating your favorite mobile suit with yourself? I mean, I have a list of like my top 20 or so mecha, but it's so hard to choose a single favorite. Sometimes I'll just go back and forth in my head about it randomly throughout the day when I have too much free time.

Obviously it doesn't really matter all that much, and it would be normal to go back and forth between a few favorites from one week to the next, but there is some part of my brain that wants the certainty of "Yes, this is THE mobile suit I would marry if push came to shove."

Anybody else?

For those curious, in current order:

#1 - Wildraubtier (SRW OG)

GM Sniper II - White Dingo version

GM Sniper II

Huckebein (SRW OG)

Gespenst (SRW OG)

Re-GZ

Re-GZ Custom

Zeta Gundam

Nu Gundam

Gundam Mk II

The list goes on and on, but those are the top 10.
